Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The apparatus is described in detail in an earlier paper [1]. The apparatus consists of a gas buret, a pressure compensator, and a 200 mL absorption bulb and mercury leveling bulb. The absorption bulb is attached to a shaking mechanism.
The solvent and the gas are placed in the absorption bulb. The bulb is shaken until equilibrium is reached. The remaining gas is returned to the buret. The difference in the final and initial volume is taken as the volume of gas absorbed.

Experimental Data
The solvent is a mixture of
800 g H2O
200 g Na2SO4 (anhydrous)
40 ml H2SO4 (concentrated, c = 18 mol dm-3)
Thus the molality of the solution is
m2/mol kg-1 = 0.90 (H2SO4)
m3/mol kg-1 = 1.76 (Na2SO4)
